Katy Perry - why has she gone full on sexual!

Again today talking about sucking her husbands d#@k after he does the dishes. The other week nude pap photos and a few weeks back dressing with everything hanging out. Is this her PR machine making her relevant, stand out...as Swifty's grabbing all the limelight?

It makes you stop and think why you don't see the same sort of expectations/exploitation for men, though, doesn't it?

The music industry has always been dominated by men who hold all the power. Female artists often have male managers who package them to sell as a commodity. The industry is also rife in sexual exploitation.

Totally agree about Kate Bush. Legend.

I feel really sorry for Katy Perry. There’s so much sexism and ageism in music anyway. Plus she’s survived awful personal relationships. She has at her level of success either got a massive lifestyle to fund, or really shit advisors around her to be hawking this auld tat now.

She could have (like Katie Price bless her and the pony books) been a lucrative and happy pop icon for young girls for several years more. I can only summer there’s a lot of stress around this need to go for the lowest common denominator. I wish her well. (Also KP). If I was either of them, I would write a stinging tell-all book and make gazillions. I hope they do.

She always was overtly sexual and then she piled on the pounds for years and became subdued, perhaps lacking in confidence.

Now she's had the weight loss jabs and feels good about herself but instead of behaving with class she's reverted back to acting like a cheap fool and thinks nasty sexual talk is empowering.

Because her music is not good enough to get the audience she wants. But many of them go through this e.g. Miley Cyrus- who does have talent & has toned it down a notch. Madonna was another one, as was Ariana Grande. I can see Sabrina Carpenter going down this route.

Don’t recall Kylie doing this. Artists like Kate Bush, Adele etc just don’t need to.

Difference is, Madonna is just being herself. She knows who she is, and is comfortable with it, so naturally her sexuality is a big part of her career.
